You can find detailed step-by step-photos above the recipe card.
Instructions
- Whisk together wet ingredients: In a mixing bowl whisk together eggs and almond milk with a whisk or a fork until the egg is fully incorporated into the milk.2 eggs, ¾ cup almond milk
- Spices: Add in the spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, salt) and whisk again.½ teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon nutmeg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, tiny pinch of salt
- Heat your pan: Grease a (preferably non-stick) pan with some oil. Heat the pan over medium heat.
- Prep the bread: Once the oil is shimmering, dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture. Let soak for 2-3 seconds. You want it to be saturated with egg mixture but not soggy.
- Cook the French toast: Add the soaked bread slices to the pan. Cook for about 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the pan and place on a plate. Add toppings of choice and enjoy!

Notes
- Type of bread: Use thick-cut, day-old white bread slices. The slightly stale bread will soak up the egg mixture (better than fresh bread) without becoming overly soggy. You can use whole-wheat, sourdough or Challah bread and brioche are seriously delicious too. You can also use regular sandwich bread; just be mindful that it will cook quickly.
- Type of milk: I used plain, unsweetened almond milk, feel free to use soy milk or oat milk (might change the flavors though).
- High-quality eggs: Use the best quality organic, free-range eggs you can get.
- Don’t oversoak the bread: It will turn out soggy and mushy if you soak it too long.
- Keep it warm: If making a large batch of almond milk French toast, keep the slices in the oven at 200F.
- Sweetness: The toast itself isn't sweetened because I usually always drizzle over some maple syrup before serving. If you don't want to add any toppings that are sweet, I recommend adding a teaspoon of sugar to the milk-egg mix.
